My sister had the wedding I always dreamed of - simple dress, tons of guests, elegant reception, the most beautiful church in town, fall colors. Even though I'm a little jealous she got it all, I realized that that's not the kind of wedding I want anymore. I'd rather have a small, homely affair in our small, hometown church. Glad I realized that!

FH and I are eloping in three weeks out of town, and having an in town reception for family and friends the next weekend. The reception is small and at our house, a cookout type of gathering. My parents oppose the idea so much they have been un-invited, mainly because of the way they opposed and the things they said and did when we told them of our plans...and because of this about half my family has decided to decline the invitation as well citing that it is wrong of us to not invite my parents. I am ready to just cancel the whole reception. I don't get why wanting a small affair is so bad

At what point do you sacrifice what you want for your wedding in order to have the people you love there? I'm 1st generation American and most of my family is very old school. They don't understand the concept of a destination or Vegas wedding, which is exactly what I want to do. They expect a big, extravagant affair with a church and reception, just like everyone else in my family did. I doubt half of them would come if I got married in Vegas, not b/c they'd disapprove but b/c they don't "get" Vegas and wouldn't have a good time. What to do, what to do.

We're house hunting!! So excited! Once we buy a house, I can start planning our reception that will be a lovely backyard affair!!

My mother (divorced) confessed to me this weekend that she's been having an affair with a married man for the past 6 years. I love her so much and I want her to be happy but ... of course it's awful. His wife has no idea. My heart hurts.

I hate attending weddings. Seriously, theyre just not that fun. Especially formal garden weddings in July in the south when the predicted temps are near 100. They're miserable sweaty fly/bee ridden affairs. But I love you, so I'll see you Sinday!

I'm hosting a bridal shower for my BFF - still in the planning phases. Her FMIL keeps suggesting really expensive restaurants and she wants to invite every second and third cousin. I can't afford any of that. I'm will to host it in nice local place with a reasonable guest list. If FMIL wants a fancy affair she can pony up the money for it.

OMG I am sick of my friend's wedding already! It's turning into a day's long affair! The dinners, parties, money spent. Just freaking go to the courthouse already! UGH!

I was having an affair while I was engaged. I had 2 kids with this guy, but still got married.

I am having an affair with my furture husband's best man. The wediing's tomorrow. I have no intention of stopping.
